Stimulated Raman Scattering In Micro Sphere Resonators, Ruoyu Zhang

All Theses

Micro sphere resonators that hold optical whisper gallery modes (WGMs) provide an innovative option for implementing micro optical resonators. The unique properties of the micro sphere resonator make it capable to introduce resonance for various optical phenomenon, like stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), in micron scale.

This thesis illustrates the characteristics of micro sphere resonators and demonstrates the resonance-enhanced SRS in micro sphere resonators with reduce threshold power. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented. Coupling model for WGM is derived in transfer matrix method. Simulation analyses for mode pattern of WGMs are solved based on mathematic model and finite element …
